Last week I got the idea to give away a large blow mold pumpkin on the Bella Rustina Facebook page. The only issue was I didn’t have one to give away. I knew Larry, one of the Bella Rustina exhibitors, would have some, but I didn’t want to take away from his inventory because the more Halloween blow molds he has at the show, the more happy customers we’ll have. Last week after the tv fiasco, Scott (a subscriber) responded to my email asking if I had looked for a TV on Hibid auctions. I didn’t find a TV I liked out there, but I did find the amazing blow mold pumpkin pictured above. I had missed that The Good Stuff Auction would be having an online auction over last weekend, so I was surprised to find their listing. The pumpkin was one of the last auctions to end, so I won a few auctions and then won the pumpkin for a little less than retail price. I have a Like and Share Bella Rustina giveaway going on until Thursday night for a chance to win the blow-mold pumpkin, a Bella Rustina t-shirt, 2 tickets to the show, and $20 in Bella Bucks if you’d like a chance to win.
Another neat auction win was for these plastic black cat yard stakes:

From the photo I thought they were cast iron or metal, but they are actually a thick plastic. I thought I had paid too much for them until I looked them up. They sell for around double what I paid for them so that sounds great to me. I also won some bowls with a turkey design and an Iris and Herringbone bowl.
Here are the sales I know about for this weekend:
